EXPLAINED

Detailed Answer:
Actually the emergency pill does not work after ovulation
You had unprotected sex around the time of ovulation, so there is a small risk of pregnancy.
The risk is very small because you used condoms also.
There is nothing more to be done now, just relax.
Please take a pregnancy test after 3 weeks to be absolutely sure about pregnancy.
Take care.
